When adjusting colour balance before or after routine maintenance, always use the
Note
recommended paper (Mondi 90gsm or equivalent) for optimum image quality.
1. Always ensure the latest firmware is installed on the copier, this can be visually checked using
SIM22-05 or printing the data sheet using SIM22-06.
2. Check that A/E settings and manual colour calibration settings are set to default (page 4 of SIM22-
06 data sheet)
3. Ensure all maintenance work is carried out, checking maintenance counters in SIM22
4. Ensure optics cavity is clean, clean main charge unit using special tool and clean laser slit glass
5. Perform colour image density sensor adjustment in SIM44-13 using special tool (UKOG-0318FCZZ)
refer to ADJ 3 in service manual
6. Next perform black image density sensor adjustment in SIM44-02, refer to ADJ 3B in service
manual
7. Perform image skew adjustment and registration adjustment using SIM50-22. When performing
skew adjustment follow procedure in ADJ 5 in service manual
8. Execute SIM44-27, halftone process control correction data clear
9. Execute SIM44-06, Process control correction (force)
10. Execute SIM44-26, halftone process control correction execution
11. Perform colour balance adjustment SIM46-74, place printed pattern on to glass for both engine
and printer modes
12. After performing the colour calibration press “OK”, the initial setting of the half tone calibration
will be performed
14. Once “COMPLETED THIS PROCEDURE” is displayed, the adjustment operation is completed.
Cancel SIM46-74.
The adjustment results only become valid when both engine and printer adjustments have been
completed in full, if the simulation is cancelled after just the engine calibration is performed the
adjustment result is invalid.

All MX series machines have a coin vend interface located on the PCU Main PWB. The vending device activates
various signals to indicate paper sizes and operation.
Because of additional functionality, the interface connector has been changed from 12 to 16 pins.
Before connecting a third party auditor, the device should confirm to the following:-
To enable coin vend function, test simulation 26 –03 should be set as required:-

6. When the firmware upgrade is complete, click Reboot to execute a remote restart
Of the machine
In the event of a power failure during a firmware update or HDD failure, the machine may fail to reboot because of
corrupted firmware. In this case the SD card containing the correct BOOT program will have to be replaced,
firmware will then have to be recovered using the CN method.
To enter the CN firmware recovery method, turn ON the UPDATE DIP-SW on the MFP PWB
The following five keys are used for executing functions when in the CN Update mode
1. Insert the USB memory containing the firmware into the USB port
3. Check to confirm the machine starts booting (It takes more than
10 seconds to display the menu)
4. Select update from USB memory by using the “MENU” and “BACK” keys
5. Press the “OK” key, the firmware file saved on the USB memory key is retrieved, and the file selection
menu is displayed
6. Select the target firmware file using the “UP” and “DOWN” keys. When the correct file is displayed select
the “OK” key, the selected firmware file will be read. Once read the update procedure will continue
• The abbreviated name of the firmware which is under update should appear in the upper right corner of
the display
• During the update process, the display may flash instantaneously. It is normal operation
7. Check the update results of all firmware files by using the “UP” and “DOWN” keys
10. Turn on the machine ensuring BOOT animation is displayed and the “Copying is enabled” is displayed
2. Unzip the all files on the same folder, and then run Restoration File (exe file). This will give you a
.UAR file. Load this onto the Root of your USB memory device.
3. Insert the USB memory device into the machine and ensure the USB logo is displayed
4. Enter simulation mode and enter SIM49-3
5. Select latest e-manual version to install
